Although most of the desert landscape
in this photograph features rugged mountains
(dark brown) and intermittent basins,
several features indicate human activity—the
street pattern for the desert town of
China Lake; two triangular airfields,
one north and one west; and center-pivot
irrigation patterns to the northwest.
To the east is highly reflective Searles
Lake, made up of layers of sand, silt,
and salt almost 1000 feet (305 meters)
thick. The layers are mined for borax
and various salts. The irregular browns
to the north are exposed lava beds.
China Lake, CA, October 1995.
